ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    i'd sandblast that metal part and repaint it with ''chrome'' spray paint. the rust that bled on the plastics can be removed with polish and elbow grease. later.

        Anything is restoreable its just how much time do you want to put into it.
        But like typeG said Sand or Sandblast the reflector and paint it with chrome pant. As for the plastic cover, try cleaning it with hot water and soap then polish it up with plastic polish (use a small buffing ball) But its gonna take some elbow grease to get that rust off the plastic

            I'd get rid of that huge rusted piece of crap and spray the inside with chrome reflective paint like a memebr did with his set of 90-91 fogs in his restoration.

                      I would just get same size fog light(as rusted reflector) mount inside of the old fog housing, clean lens from inside and polish from outside.

                      just painting plastic part wont give that great light output, plus there is no where to mount your new light bulbt, as it needs to be cliped metal housing that you won't be using any more.

                      Your best bet would be geting some 03 accord fogs and harness, relays, oem swich. $45 from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-04...spagenameZWDVW

                      just take off that plastic and retrofit into yours old ones, and you got your self bright and shiny fogs with oem swich and harness under 50 beans
